I love how God does it. To be holy you must accept your sins, To be uplifted you must be humble. Amazing character of God.

Humble to bring down to the ground make yourself even with the ground. That first step is hard but OH the rewards. He who exalts himself shall be abased and he that humbles himself shall be exalted. God is always totally opposite from what the world does things. So to be like Jesus is to do exactly opposite from what the people of the world does.

Humble means not proud, arrogant, haughty, assertive etc. Jesus Christ was our perfect example, he humbled himself and God himself exalted him and give him a name that is above all other names Phil 2 9 11 . For us to receive something good from God, we need to humble our self.

for a man to be lifted up he needs to humble himself. that is humility is what makes God to attend to you like a father who takes God care of his son.

If we as human beings are happy to lift up a child who is holding on to your finger as you go on a walk the child putting all the trust in that one small finger, at last you will take the child on to your shoulders. With joy the child singing and asking questions of life to the father.=humble yourself before the Lord and he will lift you UP.1Peter 5:6-
